Exiting Egypt Chapter 8 P4

Exiting Egypt

The Third Plague – The Finger of God

Exodus 8:16-19

By Dennis Lee: Chapter 8 P4

Read Ex. 8: 16-19

I once read about a young woman who took a college science course. They were discussing evolution and considering how each part of the human anatomy must have evolved. When they got to the eye, after much discussion, it was seen that such a simplistic argument would suffice. Well, this girl, who was not a Christian, suggested that evolution might not be the best way of explaining the phenomenon of human sight. The professor became irritated and responded “Young lady, we’re not here to talk about God.”

Although the existence of God had not entered into the conversation, or entered into this young lady’s mind, what she ended up realizing is that God is required.

The Bible tells us the result of removing God from our lives. Look at what the Apostle Paul says,

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them (Rom. 1:18-19 NIT)

And as a result, the Apostle Paul said,

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised (Rom. 1:25 NIT)

And then he talks about their end, how God gave them over to their lusts, and to a depraved mind, seeing that they were filled with every kind of wickedness imaginable.

Time Magazine in 1994 had an article talking about this rejection of God and how it leads to an overall increase in unrighteousness.

“An excuse for adultery is available now at the hands of a supposedly scientific discipline known as ‘evolutionary biology’ which goes from the premise that we are ‘human animals’ and can look to the realm of other animals for reasonable models for the underlying rational for how we behave.”

This is what now forms the basis for understanding infidelity and promiscuity in the human race. Gee, isn’t it special that the human race has so evolved to this higher form?
